Ten years of hard work, success and innovation in care were celebrated this week when Carole Wardle was joined by staff, residents, friends and family to toast her anniversary as manager of Care UK's Station House nursing home in Crewe.

Care UK has welcomed news that the Government is making Â£160 million available to help patients move out of hospital beds and back home or to other accommodation. A recent survey of 502 doctors working in hospitals, conducted for the Guardian by the professional network Doctors.net.uk, showed that 50 per cent of those polled believed that the problem of bed blocking has increased in the past year.

Care UK is forging ahead with its major new building programme which will see more than 30 new purpose-built care homes opening over the next five years. The homes will largely specialise in providing high quality personalised care for older people suffering from dementia.

Care UK, the UK's leading independent provider of health and social care, has just celebrated the completion of its first â€˜Managers of the Future' training scheme which saw 18 deputy managers and supervisory managers trained for positions in more senior management in the company's 59 residential homes.
